Pro Tips for Quotes That Win Jobs
- Name your line items for the client, not for you: "Supply & install premium faucet (incl. fittings)" outsells "parts" — same math, different perception.
- Bundle small extras: three $15 lines look nickel-and-dime; one "Materials & consumables — $45" line reads professional. The total is identical.
- Discount last, tax on the discounted amount: this calculator applies discount before tax — the legally correct order in most jurisdictions. Check yours.
- Set the quote's expiry out loud: add "Prices valid 30 days" to your email when you paste the text — urgency without pressure.
- Set your floor first: use our Service Price Calculator to find your minimum viable price, then build the client quote here.
Frequently Asked Questions
A tool that turns job details — line items, quantities, rates, discount and tax — into a professional price quote instantly. This one also generates a client-ready text version you can copy straight into an email, plus a printable output, all privately in your browser.
List each line item (labor hours × rate, materials, extras), sum them for a subtotal, subtract any discount, then add tax on the discounted amount. Example: $500 + $300 = $800 subtotal − 10% discount = $720 + 8.5% tax = $781.20. The calculator above runs this whole chain live.
Yes — line items are generic. Plumbers add call-out fee + parts + hours; developers add milestones; cleaners add rooms × visits. Quantities multiply rates per line, so any pricing structure fits.
Here, discount applies first and tax is calculated on the discounted amount — the standard order in most tax systems. If your jurisdiction taxes pre-discount amounts, reduce the tax rate accordingly or leave tax off and note it separately.
For simple jobs, yes — add lines like "Pallet shipping" × weight-based rate. But real freight quote calculators need distance zones, LTL class tables and carrier tariffs; for serious freight work, use a dedicated freight tool and use this page for the labor and handling portions of the same job.
Three ways: Copy Text grabs the formatted quote for any email or chat; Print opens your browser's print dialog where "Save as PDF" creates a file; or screenshot the totals panel. The client never sees your margins — only what you include in the text.
No. Everything is JavaScript in your browser — client names, rates and totals never touch a server. Refresh the page and all data is gone. Safe for confidential bids.
Service trades typically target 30–40% margin; product-resale 20–35%; freelance 25–50% depending on specialization. If you're unsure what YOUR floor is, run your costs through our Service Price Calculator first — then quote above that floor here.
